Discovering America's Southeast: A Sixteenth Century  View Based on the Mannerist Engravings of Theodore de Bry
Much of what the Old World knew of the New World was conveyed through the engravings produced by Theodore de Bry.  Appearing approximately one hundred years after the period of Columbus, these engravings provided vivid images of the mystery adventure, and wealth which were readily available in the New World.  With the advantage of several centuries of study, we now know that many of the engravings were inaccurate, exaggerated, or just plain false.  This fact, however, in no way lessens the impact which these powerful images made on sixteenth century Europe.
